Banqueting Gen. sherman.

Now that Gen, Sherman has come to New
York to live, he will probably bo seen at most
of the public banquets, for he is an ardent
lover of that sort of thing. He is good
eater, a moderate drinker and a fluent
speaker. He has no end Of anecdotes at his
tongues end. The general is brimful of good
fellowship, and he loves to eat and. drink and
smoke and fight his battles over again IN the
company of good friends.--New York Times.

injustice"
Then, raising his head, he said:
''The prisoners are discharged"
Silently the crowd divided, leaving a
broad pathway.
Down the isle walked the Franciscos.
Each wore the same scornful smile. Each
gave the same wicked look out of his
black eyes. Each made the same low bow
to the court, and when they passed me
noticed that the red scars on each mans
temple were both of the same size and of
the same flaming color.
Out of the arched doorway of the pal
ace of justice, out into the darkness, out
into the region of the mysterious and the
unknown, passed the two Franciscos,
with not man to follow or say them
nay.
The next morning my expect ed II

An Angry Bride.
Baltimore American

Among the first curiosities shown the
visitors to the capitol are the whispering
stones In the statuary hall, which used to
be the old house of representatives.
There are several sets of these stones and
person standing on one car hear a Sec
ond person whisper, if that person is on
the corresponding stone on the other side
OF the hall. One of the most curions of
these stones Is the long distance one.
The stone is near the north door of the
hall, while the person who talks must
stand on the threshold of the doorway of
the south entrance, some twenty feet
away. Any one standing on the stone
near the north door can hear the familiar
whispers uttered on the door steps of the
south door.
The other day bride and groom were
among the visitors. They were from
New York, and one of the groom's friends
was showing them around. Of course, he
was explaining the whispering stones to
them. The bride was on the north stone
and the friend stood upon the steps of
the south door. He was whispering to
her several little things of interest ABOUT
the hall. She had her back toward him.
A page from the house came along and
got interested in the conversation. Sud
denly he thought he, too, would talk to
the bride, and when the friend stopped
for an instant, the page said:
"Say, old girl, how old are you, any
how?"
As quick as Zig htning the bride hoped
off the whispering stone. Her face was
crimson with bushes, and she took her
husbands arm and walked off. The friend
had heard the pages remark and saw its
result, but before he could grab the boy,
the naughty page had fled. He followed
his friend and his young bride, and tried
his best to explain matters, but somehow
the bride doubted his story.

Hunting Wild Dogs
BARTHOLDI.
New YorksMail.

Much excitement prevails in Pleasant
Valley and Hyde Park over the incursions
of wild dogs that inhabit the woods and
make raids on sheep and cattle, and hogs.
The loss in both towns has been large,
and the farmers are alarmed. One pack
OF nine dogs was recently seen in Pleas
ant Valley, seven of of which are describ-
ed as being yellow and two black, and all
of unusual size and very savage. Several
farmers have lost a number of calves,
six Or eight dogs attacking calf at once
and eating it.
On Saturday Farmer Wood of Pleasant
Valley while in his barn heard strange
noise at the creek where his COWS were
drinking, and looking out he saw seven
of the dogs attacking one cow. Mr..
Wood, knowing the danger he would be in
If he went to the scene on foot unarmed
as he was, got on horse and and rode
his animal at the pack full speed, when
the dogs ran away.
Yesterday thirty-two men from both
towns formed hunting party and started
IN search of the dogs. Theys were out
some time and saw two, but owing to the
hard crust on the snow were unable to
get close enough to shoot them. The
party will go out again tomorrow and
hope to come upon the animals in the
swamps. Farmers who visit their neigh
bors carry guns, fearing that the dogs
will attack them.

similar ring just as heavy for S11. No
man should regret the money he pays

diamond of the same size. Their
value depends wholly OF their color
Opals! No; We sell but few opals, pro-
badly because they are considered un-

course, some men will load themselves
down with jewelry whether it be fashion

"To buy diamonds judiciously one
must be pretty good Judge of those
stones. Here is a diamond which I sell
for $50, which an inexperienced buyer
could not distinguish from this stone,
holding up a stone of similar size, which
is worth $125. One is very much off color,
while the other is pure white and as clear
as bell. In fact the cheaper of the two
makes the better showing, is more daz-
zling to the eye, and is seen to much bet
ter advantage by gaslight. It's de-
fects, however, are more easily distin-
guishable to the eye of the experienced

The Maladies of Gagged Birds.
Saturday Review


The melancholy part of the study of
Gagged birds is the abundance Of diseases
to which they are liable. Especially der
ing the winter and early spring the pa
thetic little captives are apt to suffer and
die in way Which makes the very fact of
their captivity reproach. After exam
lining the grisly catalogue of their COM
plOints, we have come to the conclusion
that the excessive dullness of their life
in cages drives them to the only indulg-
ence which is possible to them, that of
overheating themselves. The excited
bird which falls from its perch in the
middle of burst of song, smitten with
apOplexy; the hot and lumpy bird which
is victim to hepatitis; the corpulent
bird whose figure no dandelion bird that
drags on existence by slipping tincture of
lobelia and drops of castor oil-all these
melancholy invalids would have escaped
their sad condition if they could have
resisted the tempting hempseed and the
luscious milksop. But how are they to
drag life through their long monotonous
days? In the utter insipidity of aviary
existence the open and inexhaustible box
of food decoys them like vice, and they
succum to temptation, as Nine. Bovary
did, from sheer, unmitigated ennui.
Sometimes, in the latter stages of decline,
all refticence is thrown aside, and the un-
fortunate songster sits all day long at the
feeding trough, Smelling and throwing
aside the food that it positively can not
swallow, and yet must be handling.
In these, leaves or Epson salts will re-
duce; the epileptic sad cases live spider
is sometimes found beneficial, as for hys-
terial human patients the family doctor
may recommend pantomime or fancy
bSll. We can but think that more study
might with advantage be given to the
question of the food of Gagged birds,
since this seems to be the difficulty upon
which their management always strikes.
It is curious that bird fanciers persist in
feeding their charges with hempseed,
probably because the irresponsible little
wretches gobble it up with SO much greed
mess.
But this is no more a reason for giving
it to them than the fact that children like
macaroons would be reason for feeding
them daily upon this indigestible dainty.
Birds require at least as much care as
children in selecting for them, not what
they prefer, but what is best.

His Daily Bill of Fare and His Habits and
Customs.
New York Herald of Health
Breakfast is ready at the White House
at $50, and the president never waits in
vain for an appetite for this first meal of
the three that satisfy and sustain him.
Fruit, oatmeal, or some other cereal
food, chops beefsteak, eggs, fish,
with coffee and rolls, make up this meal.
Then comes the morning in the library,
where the president receives most of his
business visitors standing, moving from
one to the other in a circle until all are
disposed of. Two days of the week
Tuesdays and Fridays-break in upon the
routine for other days. On three days ne
goes down to the east room at o'clock
to shake hands with people who call to
pay respects. In this way his time is oc-
cupied until luncheon IS announced at
1;3O. This meal is plain-cold meat,
bread and butter, relish perhaps now
and then, green tea, and again
fruit. Dinner is served at Z. 1t is
only an ordinary meal of soup, fish,
an entree and a roast with a simple
dressing, and fruit, for the president en-
joys fruit at every meal. In addition to
the beverage named as being used at
breakfast and luncheon, the president
drinks but little. Wine is never on the
White House table except there be guests
present. An erroneous impression has
been obtained regarding the presidents
tastes in this respect. Lager beer or ale
are used by him very rarely.
The president uses tobacco. He smokes
not more than two cigars day, and these
after dinner, when he goes up to the Ii
brary to resume his work after chat with
the White House family.

TEMPLE BAR,
9 little maiden

Obi know g. little maiden,
She lives close to us at home:
WheH the air with peace is laden
In the evening Sac will roam.
In the evening down the meadow
To the stile upon the lane,
Where beneath the oak shadow
She will meet her love again.
She has very many lovers,
Has this maiden, half a score:
She's fortune to the glovers
With her twenty pair, or more.
There's the banker and the tailor
Who are looking out for wives,
And our parsons soma sailor
Will make love when he arrives.
Then the curate comes to prattle
. All the gossip of the town.
While the captain talks OF battle,
And besieges with d frown.
There's farmer every Friday
Comes to market in our square,
Bringing with him, wet or dry day,
PoSies gathered for the fair.
They implore her till she bushes
Says they do not know their mind
So their vows and spe eches brushes,
But she is not all unkind;
For she tells me Of their going,
With laughing sort of smile,
And / know what I am kbowing,
And learn it=at the stile.

that Of the OK has a capacity of 25c
quarts, but in the intestines this is revers-

of 25C quarts and the OK 100. The horse,

ish New Year. "56iS" Will be well
coined with appropriate ceremonies.
This day is called III the Bible Yom-
ha-zi-ko-ron, ga day of memorial, to
call to mind the actions of the past
year and pray to me Lord for the par
don of sin.
According to Jewish tradition, this
was the day ON which God called into
existence the Heaven and all the
Heavenly hosts thereof. The Earth,
the Sea, and their Myriads of forms
OF life and beauty.
The Jewish sages, however, make
this day the anniversary of higher
and nobler creation namely, the Birth
of The Spiritual Man, and therefore
the Bible calls this day, Holy Con-
vocation" day set apart for worship,
calmly considering the nature of a
higher life and to ask in prayer
whether list conception had existed
during the past year.
Rev. A. W. Edelman, will conduct
services of the New Year at Bryson's
Hall on Spring street between First

order to increase hts bank account.
He now furnishes the Los Angeles
